UNITED NATIONS --In an about face, the United States on
Friday withdrew a U.N. resolution endorsing this week's agreement by Israeli and
Palestinian leaders to try to reach a Mideast peace settlement by the end of
2008, apparently after Israel objected.

U.S. Deputy Ambassador Alejandro Wolff informed the Security Council that the
United States was pulling the resolution from consideration less than 24 hours
after U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad introduced it.

Khalilzad had said he needed to consult with the Israelis and Palestinians on
the text of the resolution to ensure that it was what they wanted following the
decisions by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert at the Mideast peace conference in Annapolis, Md.

Wolff said the U.S. had held intensive consultations in the past few days
"and the upshot was that there were some unease with the idea" of a resolution.

The worst bunch of libtards ........... "Artists". "Addiction to war ......... are they talking about the Islamic savages? What self important asshats. I'd rather get a tooth pulled then go to this "party."hat tip babs

UPDATE: Art - reality according to a set of values. Values. Rand said
thepurpose of all art is the objectification of values. These savage
artists are morally bankrupt. They are incapable of creating art. They
defile it.
The talented lovely artist Babs sends more of these pearls of dreck;

Morrissey says he is not racist, but believes immigration has swallowed the identity of Britain

Morrissey, the former Smiths singer, has sparked controversy by claiming British identity has disappeared because the country has been “flooded” by immigrants.

The pop star, originally from Manchester, suggested that immigration was one of the reasons he would not move from his American home back to Britain.

UPDATE: The plot thickens. Wolf sent this: "This is an interesting, and important controversy since the magazine has taken a very innocuous statement, innocent really and decided to defame him because he misses the Britishness of his childhood and feels that it is been lost, the sense of proud English identity. How daft. This just shows how even those in the arts will have to keep mum. It's insane.

The Foreign Press Association condemns the disgraceful and brutal treatment of journalists at the hands of Palestinian security forces during demonstrations across the West Bank on Tuesday November 27. The beatings, arrests and seizure of equipment which targetted journalists carrying out their normal professional duties were shocking in their wanton disregard for basic press freedoms. The FPA calls on the Palestinian Authority to thoroughly investigate the causes behind these outrageous attacks and hold those responsible to account. We also urge strong action from those responsible to reinforce the PA's commitment to the basic principles of a free press which allow for our members to conduct their professional duties without fear of attack or arrest.

This is very bad. Very bad for Israel. Bodes ill. Every tin pot misogynist, Jew hating country signs off on an American resolution and Israel has no clue. It needs not repeating that this would never have happened if John Bolton was still at the UN. And to every Jewish Democrat that undermined Bolton's shot at a vote on the Senate floor, it is certain they will face the worst retribution. Chuck Schumer will burn (in hell.)

After closed-door
consultations among the council's 15 members, diplomats from China and
the only Arab member, Qatar — and some Palestinian Arabs — expressed
support for the American proposal. But while the American ambassador to
the United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, hailed the council members' backing, his Israeli colleague, Dan Gillerman, said he knew "very little" about the proposed resolution.

[...]

Israeli diplomats are usually highly attuned to U.N. maneuverings
related to the Middle East, but on Thursday afternoon, the text of the
proposed American resolution was handed out to reporters shortly after
it was circulated to council members — but before it was seriously
studied by top Israeli diplomats.

And how strange is this turn of events;

But Israeli diplomats, who
acknowledged that they were in the dark, said they hoped the American
initiative would not end up as a resolution — but as a so-called
council's presidential statement, which is less formal. Some Israelis
are concerned that a council resolution may lead to future council
action, getting the world body more involved in the process than Israel
would like.

This is a kick in the head;

The proposed resolution endorses the "program of action" that was agreed at Annapolis
and calls on "all states to lend their diplomatic and political
support." "I am happy that the council is dealing with this issue," the
Qatari ambassador, Nassir Abdulaziz al-Nasser, who represents the Arab
voting bloc at the council, said. "We have no problem with it," a
Palestinian Arab diplomat who closely followed the council's
consultations said, asking that his name not be used.

The Pali terrorists Are happy?

And our Muslim Ambassador has the temerity to say,

Among council members, "there
was enormous support for President Abbas and Olmert," Mr. Khalilzad
said when he emerged from the council's consultations, referring to the
Israeli and Palestinian Arab leaders who met in Annapolis earlier in the week.

Note the order ... Abbas first. Terror gets respect!

The US has thrown Israel under the bus. And I point to the Israel/Hezbo war when Olmuderer squandered an historic opportunity to rout Hezbollah with the blessing of the US. He blinked. Bush discovered he had no real partner
on the war on the global jihad and nothing has been the same. That war was an historic turning point on Islam's war on the West. The West blinked. Bush turned tail and went State. All the great statesman and thinkers in the Bush administration were gone in six months. And we are in a decidedly different fight for lives. I am sure Cheney would love to resign.

A diplomatic back-channel is intensifying between Israeli and Muslim religious leaders, including figures identified with Hamas.
The aim of the talks, taking place with the full knowledge of the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships, is to provide a wider consensus at the grassroots for an eventual accord.
While all eyes have been on preparations for this week’s Annapolis summit, talks have continued between senior religious figures on both sides.

Hamas on Thursday called on the UN to rescind the 1947 decision to partition
Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs.

The group said in a statement, released on the 60th anniversary of the UN
vote, that "Palestine is Arab Islamic land, from the river to the sea, including
Jerusalem... there is no room in it for the Jews."

Regarding the partition decision, Hamas said that "correcting mistakes is
nothing to be ashamed of, but prolonging it is exploitation."

IN SPITE OF MY CURRENT DISTRACTIONS AT HOME I AM FORCED TO ENTER THE PUBLIC ARENA TO EXPRESS MY OUTRAGE AT THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN DEBATE AS MANAGED BY CNN. GAY KEITH IS NOT A BRIGADIER GENERAL. HE IS NOT EVEN AN ACTIVE DUTY RETIRED ARMY OFFICER. HE SPENT HIS YEARS AS A RESERVIST SOLELY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MILITARY BUREAUCRACY. HIS BIO IS PUBLISHED IN THE GAY ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO VOIDING THE "DON'T ASK DON'T TELL" POLICY.

FOR DETAILS. YOU MUST NOTE THAT KERR WAS RETIRED FROM THE INACTIVE ARMY RESERVES IN THE GRADE OF COLONEL. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW YEARS SERVED ON ACTIVE DUTY AS A LIEUTENANT HIS ENTIRE SERVICE WAS IN THE RESERVES IN CALIFORNIA. HE WAS PLACED IN RETIRED RESERVE STATUS WITH THE CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD RESERVES AND PROMOTED TO BRIGADIER GENERAL IN THAT FEDERALLY UNRECOGNIZED STATUS.

THIS IS CONSIDERED AN "HONORARY" TITLE SIMILAR TO THE PHD AWARDED BY UNIVERSITIES AS HONORARIUM. WE WOULD NEVER REFER TO SUCH AWARDEES AS "DOCTOR". IT IS ALSO NOTEWORTHY THAT HE WAS A GRADUATE OF UC BERKELEY AND SERVED AS AN INSTRUCTOR IN ACADEMIA. HE HAS NO COMBAT EXPERIENCE DURING HIS 43 YEARS OF "SERVICE" AND IT IS A DISGRACE FOR HIM TO BE ASSOCIATED BY THE MEDIA WITH THE ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY!!!!

THANKS FOR LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF WRATH OF THIS OLD MILITARY AVIATOR. BRIGADIER GENERAL BILL BECKER UNITED STATES AIR FORCE, RETIRED COMBAT VETERAN WWII, KOREA,VIETNAM

This week the Bush Administration legitimized Arab
anti-Semitism. In an effort to please the Saudis and their Arab brothers, the
Bush administration agreed to physically separate the Jews from the Arabs at the
Annapolis conference in a manner that aligns with the apartheid policies of the
Arab world which prohibit Israelis from setting foot on Arab soil.

Evident everywhere, the discrimination against Israel received
its starkest expression at the main assembly of the Annapolis conference on
Tuesday. There, in accordance with Saudi demands, the Americans prohibited
Israeli representatives from entering the hall through the same door as the
Arabs.

Can you imagine, if you will, the leaders of a "white" country refusing to shake hands or walk through the same doors that the leaders of a "black" country? Can you imagine such a thing? Of course not!

WTF happened to Bush? What was in his Christian mind when he saw this happening? This is a religious man? Impossible.

At the meeting of foreign ministers on Wednesday, Foreign
Minister Tzipi Livni called her Arab counterparts to task for their
discriminatory treatment. "Why doesn't anyone want to shake my hand? Why doesn't
anyone want to be seen speaking to me?" she asked pointedly.

Livni you schmuck! You should have walked walked walked.

Israel's humiliated foreign minister did not receive support
from her American counterpart. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who spent
her childhood years in the segregated American South, sided with the Arabs.
Although polite enough to note that she doesn't support the slaughter of
Israelis, she made no bones about the fact that her true sympathies lie with the
racist Arabs.

As she put it, "I know what it is like to hear that you cannot
go on a road or through a checkpoint because you are a Palestinian. I understand
the feeling of humiliation and powerlessness."

Rice's remarks make clear that for the Secretary of State there
is no difference between Israelis trying to defend themselves from a jihadist
Palestinian society which supports the destruction of the Jewish state and
bigoted white Southerners who oppressed African Americans because of the color
of their skin. It is true that Israel has security concerns, but as far as Rice
is concerned, the Palestinians are the innocent victims. They are the ones who
are discriminated against and humiliated, not Livni, who was forced - by Rice -
to enter the conference through the service entrance.

The Bush administration's tolerance for discrimination against
Israel was not merely ceremonial. Diplomatically, the conference was equally
prejudicial. At Annapolis, the US joined the Arabs in placing the lion's share
of blame for the absence of peace between Israel and the Palestinians on Israel.
But you wouldn't know that from listening to Olmert, who is working steadily to
hide what happened there.

And why has Israel subjugated itself and handed over its sovereignity To the US. What country would do this?

By anointing the State Department arbiter of Israeli compliance,
the Olmert government gave the Americans the right to veto IDF operations in
Judea and Samaria. As the guarantors of progress in the peace process, the
Americans will tell the IDF where it can - or more precisely where it cannot -
erect roadblocks. The Americans will tell the Israelis what cities and towns to
transfer to Fatah control. They will tell Israel what guns and armor to transfer
to the Palestinians, what to do with terror fugitives and when and how many
terrorists it must release from its prisons.

Woe is me.

Israel Left in Dark on U.N. Middle East PlanBy BENNY AVNI
UNITED NATIONS — In an unusual move, America's U.N. mission yesterday
circulated a proposal to the Security Council supporting agreements
reached at Annapolis between Israelis and Palestinian Arabs — before
the text had been examined closely by Jerusalem, America's closest Middle Eastern ally.

Khartoum, 30 Nov. (AKI) - Thousands of people have protested on the streets of the Sudanese capital Khartoum calling for British teacher Gillian Gibbons to be shot for insulting Islam.

The 54-year-old Liverpool teacher was jailed by a court on Thursday after school children in her class named a teddy bear Muhammad.

Gibbons was sentenced to 15 days in prison for insulting religion and is to be deported from the country.

The British foreign office has been pressing the Sudanese government for her release.

But protesters, armed with sticks and knives, took to the streets after Friday prayers to denounce the sentence for being too lenient.

Media reports said they shouted "Shame, shame on the UK" and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad".

Hundreds of riot police were deployed but they did not break up the demonstration.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has been in contact with Gibbons' family twice, while Foreign Secretary David Miliband has expressed "in the strongest terms" the UK's opposition to her sentence and detention.

Ugh ....everything I've been saying. And the Condi smackdown is long overdue. Long overdue.

WASHINGTON — A former Soviet dissident and Israeli deputy premier whose ideas President Bush has cited as an inspiration for his ambitious freedom agenda said the peace talks kicked off this week at Annapolis "has nothing to do with promoting democracy," and he warned that Israel will be lucky if it does not end in catastrophe for the Jewish state.

In an interview yesterday, Natan Sharansky
said he did not feel betrayed by Mr. Bush, whom he called a friend. But
he said, "I am upset." "The greatness of President Bush is the way he
would believe in the power of the idea of freedom," Mr. Sharansky said.
"He believes in principles; he was willing to stand alone against all
for these pressures, but it is not enough to stand for principles. He
has to appoint the people who share these beliefs and who would
implement them. He has not."

Those words appear to be a direct criticism of Secretary of State Rice,
who has made the creation of a Palestinian Arab state her top priority
in the last year, visiting Jerusalem nine times to press for the launch
of final status negotiations between the government of Israel and the
nearly vanquished Palestinian Authority, now dominated by Fatah after
the takeover of Gaza by Hamas in June.

Rene Magritte
November 21, 1898 - My favorite Magritte is Son of Man (below). I discovered it in my late teens and it struck me as strangely erotic, very sexy. The whole Adam and Eve thing, yeah baby. Smart fun, all of it.

The name "Son of Man" is believed to have derived (from the Abrahamic creation story). The modern businessman is the son of Adam, and the apple represents temptation (with which one is still faced in the modern world).

Magritte was born in Lessines, in the province of Hainaut, A consummate technician, his work frequently displays a juxtaposition of ordinary objects
in an unusual context, giving new meanings to familiar things.

The representational use of objects as other than what they seem is typified in his painting, The Treachery Of Images (La trahison des images), which shows a pipe that looks as though it is a model for a tobacco store advertisement. Magritte painted below the pipe, This is not a pipe (Ceci n'est pas une pipe), which seems a contradiction, but is actually true: the painting is not a pipe, it is an image of a pipe. (In his book, This Is Not a Pipe, French critic Michel Foucault discusses the painting and its paradox.) Magritte pulled the same stunt in a painting of an apple: he painted the fruit realistically and then used an internal caption or framing device to deny that the item was an apple. In these Ceci n'est pas works, Magritte points out that no matter how closely, through realism-art, we come to depicting an item accurately, we never do catch the item itself: we cannot smoke tobacco with a picture of a pipe. Magritte died of pancreatic cancer on August 15, 1967 and was interred in Schaarbeek Cemetery, Brussels. (Wikipedia)

Condi exposed herself with her latest deeply disturbing remarks. That such stupidity and lack of historical accuracy would be spouted by a Secretary of State is almost unthinkable. You expect to hear this tripe from a Jew hating, uneducated leftard. Wolf sent this along, "She doesn't know shit about the history of the Middle East, the politics, the Koran, the Jews, none of it. This ignorant remark says it all, the Palestinians are not the blacks of the Civil Rights movement or era, Abbas is not the great non-violent civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King (what an insult to even think this!) and Dr. King was a Zionist and
lover of Israel and the Jewish people's right to it. The Jews are not the KKK or police with the dogs either, this is not the old South, this the very violent, blood lusting Middle East. She doesn't know what it means to be a Jew, to watch innocent people, babies, children, the old, the young, the tourist, be blown to bits, shards of flesh flying in every direction, blood, guts strewn everywhere, missing body parts and the survivors, with nails, nuts and bolts throughout their bodies, marred for life. She doesn't know what it's like to have monsters throwing rocks at your car as you drive, to have bombs thrown at you, to live under constant mortar fire and have to spend the night in a bomb shelter. She doesn't know the feeling of the parents who lost their sons, that went on a hike near where they lived, only to find that their children had been brutally murdered by these barbarians who had bashed in their heads beyond all recognition and left alone to be discovered in a cave. She knows rein, nothing"...

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reportedly said in Annapolis this week
that her childhood in the segregated South had helped her to understand the
suffering on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"I know what its like to hear that you can't use a certain road or pass
through a checkpoint because you are a Palestinian. I know what it is like to
feel discriminated against and powerless," Rice told a closed meeting of Arab
and Israeli representatives, according to the Dutch representative at the
summit, Franz Timmermans.

Ok, let me understand this, imprisoned terrorists guilty of the worst crimes against humanity signed a commitment not to do anymore naughty things to Israel. VOILA! We are all safe and snug as a bug in an Islamic rug. Is this the stoopidest thing you've read today or what? Are these killers and would be killers now fookin boy scouts? A truly jewicidal, leftarded moment in history folks.

The 431 Palestinian prisoners from Ksioth prison, who are due to be released
next Sunday, signed a commitment on Wednesday, in which they undertake to no
longer carry out operations against Israel. This wide-scale release of prisoners
is a goodwill gesture from Israel in the context of the Annapolis conference. (Guysen)

Hamas the spokesman for what the world is really thinking. At least they are honest. This is what it has always been about. George W. Bush, what have you wrought? Elections in Hamastan? Liberty first. then democracy. Elections at last, not at first.

Hamas on Thursday called on the UN to rescind the 1947 decision to partition
Palestine into two states, one for Jews and one for Arabs.

The group said in a statement, released on the 60th anniversary of the UN
vote, that "Palestine is Arab Islamic land, from the river to the sea, including
Jerusalem... there is no room in it for the Jews."

Regarding the partition decision, Hamas said that "correcting mistakes is
nothing to be ashamed of, but prolonging it is exploitation."

Meanwhile, President Shimon Peres told Army Radio that recognition of the
1967 borders began with the Oslo accords.

Peres, STFU. You do not speak for the Jews. Oslo. Another Israeli suicide attempt. Peres clings to Oslo the way the Palis cling to o-c-c-u-p-a-t-i-o-n.

Love Geert. Loved him here and here and here. I wish he had attended the Counter Jihad summit -- but, is he a Nazi too? Perhaps, perhaps he is part of the super secret double agent Nazi conspiracy to embrace the Jews, attend zionist gatherings, defend Israel only to secure world power so that they can roast the Jews!!! Bwahahahahahahahahaha..........

A rightwing Dutch MP said yesterday that he was
making a film to highlight what he calls "fascist" passages in the Qur'an, in
his latest high-profile criticism of Islam.

Why is fascist in quotes?

The interior and justice ministers expressed concern but said they had no
authority to stop Geert Wilders screening his film. Wilders plans to depict
parts of the Qur'an he says are used as inspiration "by bad people to do bad
things".

Less than 10 minutes long, the film is expected to be shown in late January.
It will show "the intolerant and fascist character of the Qur'an", said Wilders,
whose anti-Islam campaign helped his Freedom party win nine seats in parliament
in last year's election. In the past, Wilders has compared the Qur'an to Adolf
Hitler's book Mein Kampf. He has claimed the Netherlands is being swamped by a
"tsunami" of Islamic immigrants.

In 2004 a film director, Theo van Gogh, had
his throat slit by an Islamist after his film Submission portrayed abused Muslim
women with Qur'anic texts written on their near-naked flesh. Ayaan Hirsi Ali,
who wrote the screenplay, was threatened in a note left on Van Gogh's body.

A justice ministry spokesman, Wim van der Weegen, said the government was
"taking measures" before the broadcast.

Wilders said he was not afraid of reprisals. "I have lived with 24-hour
protection for three years," he said. "I will make the film and see what
reaction it creates."

FBI witnesses say Hassan
Abujihaad, awaiting trial on charges that he told extremists about U.S. ship
movements, also conspired to shoot military personnel.

By Josh Meyer, Los
Angeles Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON -- A former U.S. Navy sailor, already charged
with divulging classified ship movements to British extremists linked to Al
Qaeda, also discussed details of a previously undisclosed plan to attack a San
Diego military base in late 2006 with at least two other men, authorities said
Wednesday.

Testifying in a federal court hearing in New Haven, Conn., FBI
Special Agent David Dillon said Hassan Abujihaad, 31, of Phoenix had extensive
discussions about the alleged plot with an Illinois man, Derrick Shareef, and to
a lesser degree with an undercover FBI informant Shareef had introduced to him.

According to a court motion filed by federal prosecutors that was
unsealed Wednesday, Shareef and Abujihaad talked in 2003, while they were
roommates in Phoenix, of attacking a military recruiting station; in 2004
proposed attacking the unspecified San Diego base with sniper fire; and in 2006
took concrete steps to pursue such an attack.

AP
GREENBELT, Md. - A former security guard at Andrews Air Force Base who failed to put his Muslim name on a job application was trying to conceal his ties to a controversial Washington imam, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

U.S. District Court jurors began hearing the case against Darrick Michael
Jackson, who is charged with making a false statement when he failed to put the
alias "Abdul-Jalil Mohammed" on an application for a job at the suburban
Washington base that is home to Air Force One. Jackson could face five years in
prison if convicted.

Jackson already was a security guard at Andrews when he reapplied in 2005 after
the contract for security at the base changed. He had to fill out a federal
form, which asked if he had any aliases. Jackson did not include the Muslim
name.

At the time, he was affiliated with the Masjid Al-Islam mosque in
southeast Washington, which is led by a fiery imam named Abdul Alim Musa. While
Musa is not on trial in the case, prosecutors said Jackson tried to hide his
ties to Musa and the mosque to avoid an investigation that might have led to the
denial of his application.

Assistant U.S. Attorney David Salem told jurors
that Musa "has made some inflammatory statements about the United States"
without elaborating. He told jurors that the government was not pursuing the
case because of Jackson's religion.

You knew this was coming. Galvanize the world against the poor, beleaguered Jew. The Arabs, the Islamists don't give a rat's about the Palestinians. It's all a marketing tool to advance hatred of Israel, America, the West. The Arabs have that oil wealth, all those petrol dollars, trillions for decades and they gave them nothing. They left them to live in squalid camps for decades. The Israelis have been responsible for the Pali economy. The US and Israel give the aid, the jobs, any economic activity. Bin Laden in league with the devil himself. He's a rich Saudi, what has he ever given to the Palis?

I can see billions rubbing their hooves in glee with this latest fatwa declared by Bin Laden

The September 11 terror attacks in the US were carried out as revenge for
treatment of the Palestinians and actions in Lebanon, al-Qaida chief Osama bin
Laden said in excerpts of a new audiotape aired Thursday on Al-Jazeera
television.

He also called on the Europeans to stop helping the United States in the war
in Afghanistan, saying America is "ebbing."

"The American tide is ebbing, so it is best for you to press your leaders to
change their policies," bin Laden said, addressing Europeans and referring to
their countries' military contributions in Afghanistan.

Bin Laden said he was the "only one responsible" for the September 11, 2001
attacks on New York and Washington, arguing that it was unjust for the Americans
to have invaded Afghanistan.

"The events of Manhattan were retaliation against the American-Israeli
alliance's aggression against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, and I am the
only one responsible for it. The Afghan people and government knew nothing about
it. America knows that," he said.

"Europe went along with it (the US invasion of Afghanistan) because they had
no other alternative, only to be a follower," he said.

He addressed Europeans, saying "the American tide is ebbing, with God's help,
and they will leave back to their countries."

"Therefore it is better for you to stand against your leaders who are
dropping in on the White House, and to work seriously to lift the injustice
against the believers," he said, accusing US forces and their allies of
intentionally killing women and children in Afghanistan.

(IsraelNN.com) The attack on a Hamas terrorist position in Khan
Yunis Wednesday afternoon which killed two was the first sign of a new
IDF policy regarding Gaza terrorists. Military sources told Maariv/NRG
that from now on, the IAF will attack a random Hamas target in Gaza
every time a mortar shell or rocket hits an Israeli community, and will
no longer limit itself to striking the terrorists who launched the
rockets.

They
said that the IDF has now established that Hamas is behind all of the
terror emanating from Gaza and will thus retaliate against Hamas
targets regardless of which organization takes credit for terror
attacks.
